Hello all
This is a sub project of my first SW tank project: I came to a point where I need to have immersed lights for the scrubber so as to be able to light both sides of the screen.
The solution I found was to encase the floodlight in a 3/4 in. PVC pipe with bends as per the drawing below and silicone the entire structure for waterproofing
In this schema you can see the general idea:
and this is a pic I took of the bulb in the tube.
I figured I could seal the entire cross section with aquarium safe silicone.
the bends in the tube would ensure that no section of the tube allows water through and they allow the cables to go out of the sump.
The overall structure should look something like this:
Has anyone attempted such a thing or tried anything similar? any help/recommendation is more than welcome guys
